Did Gruber testify before Congress on the run up to the bill passing?

Why is the first reaction “to hold hearings”?

Yes, it may be the “proper” thing to do.

What would they show or prove that the tape itself does not show or prove?

Just play the tape 5,000 times and constantly refer to it and constantly ask if any new legislation (big joke) the admin proposes is as well based on lies and thinking the American people are too dumb to know what’s good for them.

Fight meme with meme.

House hearings for that but not the NSA’s domestic espionage?

Hey, he “apologized” for all least one of the times he called Obama supporters STUPID and since Barry’s state controlled “media” isn’t covering this, I guess they agree. Obama supporters, including his “media”, agree. They are stupid and they know it.

I'm guessing that's the only legal recourse since congress is immune to many of the laws they would use against us.

Skip that and charge him with felony fraud. The guy has already admitted what he did.

Instead of hearings the GOP, if they knew what being politically savvy was, should be using excerpts of Gruber’s remarks and putting them on commercials all over the country. Spend tens of millions of dollars and advertise them on network TV so the low info idiots can hear it for themselves. We all know the alphabet channels will give little or no coverage of what Gruber said. Another congressional hearing. Sorry, if it’s run by the GOP it’s going nowhere as long as Speaker Crybaby and Majority Leader McWorthless are in charge. It’s time to go for the jugular of these liberals. They’re destroying the country and yet the GOPe wants to get along with these fools.

Joe Wilson’s well placed “you lie” lookin’ real solid right about now.

The media is the country’s number one threat, and has been for some time.

“We may want to hold hearings on this.” ???? May ??? Go for it! If roles were reversed and a Republican was president with a bunch of lying scallywags the Democrats would turn into vicious pit bulls. Time to get tough Republicans.

You know I advocate the same thing on Amnesty. Spend 10-20 million targeting city minorities telling them if Nero grants amnesty the illegals will take all your jobs and their spawn will use up all the social monies. No more Obama phones, It be free cards or increases in money for more babies.

Then watch them turn on him.

Friend, this should be common sense for Republican operatives. The RNC has a huge war chest. They should start using it. Remember when Bush 43 was selling his tax cuts back in 2001? What did he do? He and the RNC ran commercials with snippets of JFK touting his tax cut plans back in the early 1960’s. The Democrats melted down all over the place but it got the job done. Gruber handed our side a pot of gold. His words should be echoed all over the country in commercials. As Rush would say this should be a slam dunk. If I were Rance Priebus the Madison Avenue boys are getting phone calls from me and a pot full of money to cut some devastating TV spots to stick it right in the Democratic Party’s eyes! Fed up with this wimpiness that comes from the Republicans. Stop being Neville Chamberlain-like and start throwing some haymakers at the people destroying the country!

Friend, you’re so right. The average American doesn’t watch C-SPAN let alone the nightly news on the alphabet networks. It won’t matter if they nail Dr. Gruber during testimony in a congressional hearing because nobody is going to see it. We have short attention spans in this country and let’s face it there is a large uninformed population. Cutting some slick commercials and posting them on the alphabet networks, HBO, Showtime, and on national,regional, and local radio stations is the only way you’ll reach a wider audience. The Democrats know that. They know PR way better than our side does. It’s frustrating when you know that we are right on the issues but yet we have no clue on how to get the word out!

We know he was not referring to Republicans since the were never fooled. We know he was not referring to the low income Democrats since they actually would be getting something for nothing.

He was mostly referring to white collar liberals such as adjunct professors that got moved to part time and he was referring to free-lance journalists that were paying for their own insurance and wanted to keep it.
